Researchers in India have expanded the well-known theory of planned behavior to obtain useful marketing and policy insights concerning the sustainability choices of consumers when it comes to food. The study, published in the International Journal of Sustainable Society, analyzed data from 440 Indian households via self-administered questionnaires, which were then analyzed using structural equation…
Scientists have known from ice core research that it’s easier to melt an ice sheet than to freeze it up again. Now, they know at least part of the reason why, and it has to do with ice’s “sponginess,” according to a new study published July 24 in The Cryosphere. Scientists have known from ice core…
